Animal cruelty

Tags

UPDATE: 15th May 2007: Please visit some of the animal petition sites at the end of this post and leave your thoughts on animal cruelty. I do appreciate your feedback on my blog too. Thanks.

The RSPCA is shocked and appalled at the use of live dogs and cats as bait in shark fishing, reported recently on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean. AND SO AM I. THIS IS SICK. Please sign in the Petition. Even if you do not wish to sign the petition can you PLEASE let your friends know about this act of animal cruelty and make ‘em more aware of whats going on? Thanks Liz for passing this on to me.

It is understood that stray animals are rounded up by local fishermen for the purpose.

RSPCA International senior programme manager Paul Littlefair says: “This is one of the most disturbing practices that we’ve come across. The use of a live animal in this way, apparently involving the binding of its legs with wire and piercing of the muzzle with large hooks, is unjustifiably cruel.

“Given Réunion’s status as a French overseas département, we strongly urge the French government to take immediate steps to enforce its animal protection legislation and end this inhumane practice. Members of the public should address their concerns to the French embassy to help bring this cruelty to an immediate halt.”

Here is a short list of some Anti-Animal Cruelty petition sites, feel free to pass these addresses or leave your thoughts.

    i just want to say one thing…..i dont know how people can live with themselves after hurting animals …!!its just not right!!!!people who do that are really sick in the head and deserve to be punished!!!!!animals are just like humans!!!!just leave the animals alone and let them live!!!!!!i I wish the people who are doin the testing and neglected should really realize that there hurtin poor innocent animals!!!!that dont do anything wrong!!!!!i love animals to death and i dont want to see thme get hurt or abused and etcc!!!!!!

  • Cliff

    Well, I hope none of you eat animals. Just go down to your local abattoir to see more inhumane cruelty every day. If you love animals then STAND UP for them ALL. Let them live their lives as you wish to live yours, with peace, fullfillment & happiness.

    That is totally disgusting and sick. Looking at the fear of that poor helpless dog brings tears to my eyes. How can someone do that to an inicent animal? How do they sleep at night? It makes me so angry. I wish I could put a hook through their faces and give them a taste of fear. F—ing bastards.

    seeing the pictures and just thinking of the cruelty the make these poor animals endure makesme sick, i wish i could stop all the cruelty in the the world, shamefully i cannot and i hope anyone that reads this tries to help the defenceless animals that have to go through the pain of being abused and their lives being taken off them to male some other person happy, Their stomachs may be grumbling, or their health in danger but losing thousands of animals for one life or one meal simply is not worth it. ANIMALS DESERVE the same respect as any human. thankyou for showing me the horrible things that animals go through to help meopen my eyes to the cruel world. hopefully everyone see’s this when they look at this and helps the animals, hopefully some people will help.

    Animal Cruelty
    I think that Cruelty to Animals refers to treatment or standards of care that causes unwanted or unnecessary suffering, harm or torture to the animals. And the acts and of humans which are deemed cruel. Opinions are divided whether practices such as factory farming, fur farming or animal testing of medical and other products (including medical research involving animals) is cruel or not, it is still animal cruelty.

    Animal cruelty is still happening to day, in the wilderness or in peoples very on households, Manny of the issues is hunting, and it is causing heated debates around the world. Since the late 1990’s captive elephants have killed 93 people a year, elephants are peaceful animals and this act is showing that their treatment and cruel training techniques cause the animal to suffer and act in defence.
    Bullfights and cockfights still exist in today’s world. Bullfights in particular being incredibly gruesome and cruel, with animals being tortured and having spears thrown into their backs until they finally succumb to a slow death.

    Over 10 billion animals have been slaughtered each year for human consumption which means that human are killing innocence animals for our hunger and stomach so that we survive.
    Hunting is another cruelty to animals, people in the old days use to kill animals for clothing and for food.
    Some have been dieing from our animal testing in labs to make a cure for us if we get a disease, they have to research and test chemicals on poor defenseless animals, just like these Baby Monkeys that were taken from the wild and put in cages for testing.

    There are some house holds were Humans are hurting their own pets and sometime they run away or their owners that abandon them on the side of the road were they either get run over or the dog catchers get them until the owner picks them up, and if they don’t they get put to sleep, Or their owners don’t love them anymore and put them in a shelter for some one else or they ask them to put them to sleep. And there are some cases were in some house holds were humans think that it is funny were you can get an innocence animal such as a Cat and dress him/her up as a punk or a dog and dress him up in baby close, as you favorite superhero or in a Halloween costume . Such as these animal in the pictures below.

    I think that these thing a cruel torture and violent to the Animals. If I was an animal and if I was dressed like these, I would probably want to kill my self because I would fell inclosed, unsafe, unwanted and feel like I’m been treated like a slave. Pets and animals aren’t meant to be treated like this.

    We are outraged at this cruety! we are 4 teenagers that are 13 and 14 years of age. this is disgusting and cruel. we have pets and feel sick at the thought that one might be used for bait!!! we are doing a project on this and would like some views on this. please contact us

  • http://becarefulboutwatusayaroundmeboutanimals Teri Bernes

    i am outraged at just the look of this cruelty going for poor little animals i want pople to realise that animals are a family pet

  • beth

    I can’t believe that people can be so heartless!!! There are so many sick people in this world I just can’t understand WHY??? Where is the passion?? or should I say compassion for life weather it be human or animal. So much for the saying dogs are mans best friend!!!

  • loren

    i went on a dog hound website and they would kill a dog hound i would like to be the goverment so that there would be no animal cruelty. we should they kill an animal every animal has to die sometime but it dosn’t mean you can just go and kill them cause you want them to die now. when i want to go on to websites to see what people have done to animals i cry it is so had to look at an animal beind torched. thats why when i grow up i would love to have a farm and take care of every single on of them not like SOME PEOPLE!!!

  • jess

    i agree with loren above mine. i have a dog of my own and i never hit of try to kill it i only say i just want to eat you all up but i don’t mean it. i mean it in a way that he is so cute. at my school on day a stary dog came in our school and then all the grade sixs all started chasing it out of the school and i just felt like saying leave him alone and i did but they continued and the teacher just looked and laughed io thought that was so cruel that i had tears in my eyes because that dog was only a puppy. when a dog has cancer or something dosn’t mean you can burn it i would just let it die normally i have had my first dog i ever had get burnt. why can’t it just get burnt into ashes not into something else. people are just so cruel these days no one cares about others even peple murdder other people. but i don’t care about them what about animals. if a person that does cruelty to animals and is reading this i would like you to think what you have done to animals lives.

    ps:even chopping down trees are doing someting to animals like distoring there homes.

  • nicole

    OMG people are so cruel. Animals are so lovely and i cant possibly imagine who could do something so cruel as to use dogs and cats as live bait for sharks. I have read many other stories about animal cruelty such as dogs fights and bear farming and so many people are against it and are helping to stop it from happening so i do not understand how some people can still be doing these horrible things.
    But it is good to know how many people actually do care =]

  • Melissa

    This is horrible, how could anyone do something like this to a poor animal. People who do this should be locked up, i would like to do the same thing to them as they have done to this dog.

  • becca and nicola
